ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech junior offensive tackle Nick Claytor said Wednesday that he plans to forego his senior season and enter the 2011 NFL Draft.

Claytor, 6-6, 285, started 10 games and helped the Yellow Jackets lead the nation in rushing offense in 2010. A Gainesville native who now lives in Atlanta, Claytor played in 35 career games and started 15 times.

At Gainesville High School, Claytor was considered one of the top offensive line prospects in the state. He came to Tech in 2007 and redshirted as a true freshman. Claytor's first career start came Nov. 1, 2008 against Florida State.
